Wills
We help individuals and families create legally valid wills that reflect their wishes and provide peace of mind. It’s one of the most important steps you can take to protect the people you care about.
We guide you through the process of creating a will that’s clear, complete, and legally enforceable.
A will allows you to control how your assets are passed on and who will care for your children or dependents. We make the process simple and respectful, helping you make decisions that reflect your values and protect your loved ones.
A Plan That Speaks for You
Your will is your voice when you’re no longer here. We ensure it clearly outlines your wishes for property, guardianship, and final arrangements—so your family isn’t left guessing.
Legally Sound and Up to Date
We don’t just draft your will—we ensure it complies with North Carolina law and stays effective as your life and assets change over time.
Personalized, Not Generic
Online templates can’t account for your unique family, assets, or wishes. We take the time to understand your situation and create a will that fits you perfectly.
FAQs
Do I really need a will?
Yes. A will ensures your property is distributed according to your wishes and can name guardians for children. Without one, state law decides for you.
What happens if I die without a will in North Carolina?
Your assets will be distributed according to intestate succession laws, which may not reflect your intentions or family dynamics.
Can I make changes to my will later?
Absolutely. You can update your will anytime through a codicil or by drafting a new one. We recommend reviewing it regularly, especially after major life changes.
Do I need a lawyer to create a will?
While not required, having a lawyer ensures your will is properly written, witnessed, and customized to your needs—avoiding costly mistakes or challenges later.
